COULD
JASPAR OBI,
WHO IS
BLACK + WHITE,
SHOP
@
BARNEYS
WITHOUT
THEIR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
TRACKING HIM,
WITHOUT
THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE
QUESTIONING
HIS ABILITY TO PAY
FOR HIS SELECTIONS,
AND
WITHOUT
THEIR SECURITY POLICE
CHECKING HIS BAGS?
HE HAS VERY EXPENSIVE TASTES!
BECAUSE
JASPAR IS A DOG
AND
NOT A BLACK YOUTH
HE COULD PROBABLY SHOP
@
BARNEYS
WITHOUT
SCRUTINY
DISCRIMINATION
BIAS
HUMILIATION.
LUCKY DOG.
WHAT A CUTE DOG!
OMG, LOOK AT HIS DARLING POLKA DOT BOW TIE!
WHAT A GENTLEMAN- OH, I MEAN A GENTLECANINE
( HEE HEE! FAWNING, OVER THE TOP, GREASING THE WHEEL)
DOES HE WANT A “BARNEYS” TREAT?
WOULD HE LIKE THE BARNEY’S SPECIAL
“BOW-WOW” CREDIT CARD?
NO APPLICATION NECESSARY!
JUST LOOK AT HIM!
HE QUALIFIES!
+
… ITS NOT ONLY THE COLOR OF SKIN YOU WEAR.
ITS HOW MUCH GREEN YOU WEAR 2!
CONFORMED SOCIAL PERCEPTION
OF
WHO
CAN
BE
WEALTHY AND WELCOMED.
GREEN LIGHT. RED LIGHT.
WHITE LIGHT. BLACK LIGHT
